Agreed, but I’m not sure the OP said that. Those boys are pretty talented. At the very least mismash may turn into a very nice bottom nine NHL player, not sure he’ll be a first line type of player but who knows, he’s still super young.
i think when certain posters bring up the fact that we’ve lacked the number of first rounders (compared to early to mid 2000s), other posters seem to think they’re saying there is no talent. Not true, you can’t get into UNDs hockey program without being talented. What I’ve noticed more the past few years is that some kids simply can’t play at UND due to the pressure to perform. Jumping up levels always hits players differently.

Not interested? This kid is going to go in the top ten this summer. Sure, I was interested but there was no chance we’d get him. But for discussions sake, why wouldn’t anyone want a kid with his talent? Regardless of when he would leave. As long as the player and coach are on the same page as far as when said player is leaving who cares , I’d take wahlstrom for the year and try and push another recruit back a year. The kid’s elite. Now if he’s a terrible locker room guy that’s entirely different.

Strong may be a stretch but definitely not bad. Mancinelli’s numbers looked solid given the strength of the league he played in. If a guy like Rizzo commits here one of those kids will play an extra year of juniors. Caufield will be tested next year. I’d like to see Blaisdells numbers improve....and I’m sure they will.

Haha. I’m saying there are certain folks that post things to get a rise out of others. It goes both ways though, those folks bashing the recruiting need to relax as well. Every year we get good recruits.
A couple months ago I pointed out that we don’t get nearly the number of blue chips that we used to during the early to mid 2000s. We finally got a natty though so there’s that.

Not sure how all this got so sideways but the genesis of this discussion had to do with Weiss not going to BU anymore. He’d be a solid college recruit, very solid actually. Not sure why these discussion always get so off track.
